[Zope-dev] Poor programming practice?

2001-01-31 Thread Robin Becker

I have been trying to make use of the builtin medusa ftp_server classes
and after struggling a while came across the strange practice some
internal zope developer has of dynamically changing classes at runtime.

ie in ZServer.FTPServer I came across 

from medusa.ftp_server import ftp_channel, ftp_server, recv_channel
...
...
# Override ftp server receive channel reponse mechanism 
# XXX hack alert, this should probably be redone in a more OO way.

def handle_close (self):
..
self.readable=lambda :0 # don't call close again

recv_channel.handle_close=handle_close


which makes it virtually impossible to re-use medusa's ftp_server in a
reasonable way. The comment says it all.

The real problem is that ftp_channel uses a method make_recv_channel
which uses a global class recv_channel and the recv_channel class has a
particular method which zope wants to override. How ought this kind of
situation to be handled more cleanly?

I haven't looked at the code, so the following is based only on your 
paragraph above, and probably doesn't apply to the real classes we're 
talking about :-)


This sounds like a classic application of the Factory Method pattern.

In brief, you have the ftp_channel class. Its instances have a 
make_recv_channel method. This is the Factory Method. It returns 
whatever is appropriate for a recv_channel.

You create a subclass derived fom ftp_channel called perhaps 
zope_ftp_channel, which defines a new make_recv_channel method. This new 
method does whatever Zope needs for making the recv_channel.


The other option is to use the Abstract Factory pattern. In this case, 
you'd pass the constructor of the ftp_channel class a bound method (or a 
function) that returns the appropriate kind of recv_channel.

You could let an ftp_channel instance know about this bound method (or 
function) by other means instead, rather than passing it in the constructor.


Both patterns are discussed in the infamous "Gang Of Four book" Design 
Patterns: Elements of reusable object-oriented software, Gamma, Helm, 
Johnson and Vlissides.

There will be explanations on the web somewhere too, no doubt.

 The source was taken from zope.org. I'v also look at CVS and there it's

The line has been added by the maintainer of the Debian package of Zope,
Gregor Hoffleit. The line was never there in Zope CVS.

Zope binary and source distributions use a shell script called 'start' to
run z2.py with the python interpreter. Read the documentation that comes
with the source distribution.

You can of course always add the line yourself.

   This patch adds support for just that in a non-intrusive way. I
   haven't tried applying this patch to ZServer, but it _should_
   work.

 What does "blocking support dor producers" mean?
   
Disclaimer: you must be moderately familiar with
ZServer/medusa/asynchat for the following to make sense;
   
Asynchat used by ZServer and medusa use producers as a way to "push"
data through an async interface. The current version of asynchat
requires that producers be able to produce data immediately on calling
their more() method, untill they are finished, when they return ''.
   
My patch adds support for producers being able to "block" by letting
asynchat know if they are ready via a ready() method. This allows you
to use the simple producer model to push data that may not be
immediately available. An example would be a http-fetch producer that
fetches data from upstream for a proxy.
   
This patch is only useful for people creating or modifying things like
medusa or ZServer.
 
  Thank you for this good explanation.
 
  By now, I think, it would not be usefull for ZServer, at least
  not for standard operations.
 
 ZServer is a multi-threaded server, where different requests
 are serviced by different threads.
 The thread may block and does simply not return from "more()".
 
 On first thought, you patch might free some blocked threads
 to do productive work. However, Zope's transaction system
 is linked to thread management. If you patch would be used
 for that, Zope's transaction subsystem would need to be
 rewritten.

 Hmmm, it's been a while since I looked at ZServer, I might have to take
 another look. I thought that it pre-spawned a number of threads that each
 ran their own asyncore.loop event handler. I thought this was a neat way to
 get the benefits of async event handlers and distributing threads on
 multiple processors. Unless it spawns new threads when it needs them, it
 would still be possible for ZServer to get blocked if all the threads were
 blocked.

disclaimer: insert here.

zserver has a main thread which binds and listens, passing requests to a pool 
of zpublisher threads. the zpublisher threads communicate with the client via 
the main threads dispatcher, ie output is funneled back into the main 
thread's dispatcher so as not to tie up threads talking to distant clients.

reference: Zserver/medusa/select_trigger.py

python has a global interpreter lock, so multiple cpus have little utility. 
 

 However, my patch is only useful if you _have_ producers that can block. It
 is usually possible to re-structure your system so that no producers block
 (typicaly by using a dispatcher instead of a producer). The ready() block
 feature is really a shortcut way of modifying an existing producer-based
 design when you realise that the producer can block; ie an alternative way
 of implementing it that may or may not be better.


i've taken a quick look at the patch, i find it interesting in that it 
provides i think a way to implement a Proactor type server vs the standard 
medusa Reactor style server.

reference: Patterns of System Architecture Vol II.  Douglas Schmidt et al
reference: http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/PDF/proactor.pdf

and a webserver that makes use of this pattern
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~jxh/research/


kapil


 In my case I wanted to create a cached-ftp-backend filesystem that medusa
 could serve via ftp or http. Unfortunately the existing ftp and http server
 implementations used producers to pull data from the abstract filesystem.
 Since my "filesystem" could block pretty severly, I either needed to
 completely re-write the http and ftp servers to use dispatchers instead of
 producers, or implement blocking for producers (or use a seperate thread
 for each request, but I thought that defeated the purpose of using an async
 event loop).



 I really must look at ZServer to figure out how it handles things... I
 suspect that my patch by itself would not _hurt_ ZServer, but perhaps if
 you started using the ready() feature it provides it might cause problems.
 I'll have a look at ZServer again soon and give you an evaluation of how my
 patch would interact with it.

 Who knows, someone might find a need for blocking producers as ZServer
 evolves, and if people know the patch exists, they might use it instead of
 re-structuring to get around it :-)

[Zope-dev] Fw: [Zope-dev] Storing session objects in a ZODB

2001-01-31 Thread Chris McDonough

This is a forwarding of an interesting session-related discussion between
Andy and I... it covers the idea of storing session states as "snapshots" at
a particular time, later allowing users to select a session state.  This is
useful if you wish to allow users to make incremental changes to data in a
session and "bookmark" a session state for later copying into the current
session.  This is something that the "bare" session tracking stuff won't do
for you, although it can facilitate it tremendously.

Input welcomed!

  state, copy it back into the current session namespace.  This is the

Well my quick hack and wacky of doing it is as follows:

- I wrote a quick simple class "ZStore" that has as one of its properties a
pickle, which you can read and write to using cStringIO
- I make a ZStore object, throw in the session object, it pickles it as the
data property, I add a few more useful properties, like title, owner etc...
- To get it back I get that object, unpickle that property and I have the
session back.

Quick hack that works for me and allows me to change the content of a
session object, without having to change the storage. Im sure someone will
come up with a better solution.

Cool!  Note that the session data object implements the mapping interface,
so you don't really need to pickle up a copy of it.  I'd recommend against
this, although it seems to be working well for you.

Instead, to save a session state, I'd just grab the current session data
object and iterate over its items, grabbing things out of it that are
interesting to my application.  Then I'd copy these things into another data
structure, maybe by sticking them into an instance of a class that also
implements the mapping interface and put that instance in a folder somewhere
which is related to the currently logged-in user.

Then when a user wanted to restore a saved session state, get a list of
session state objects in his session state folder, present them to him, have
him select one.  When he does, copy the items out of it into the current
session data object.

The nice thing about this general strategy is that you can work with the
current session data object in all of your app code that depends on session
state.  How the session state is saved and restored (and what the session
data object values are) is completely independent of the app code.

 Any special reason why I shouldn't pickle apart from the fact that the

The session data object class may move in the future, which in the "normal"
case would only require that you restart the server (if they're transient)
or flush your data container (if they're persistent).  But if you've got
pickles of older session data objects hanging around (which point to a
no-longer-existing class), your app will likely break.  Instead, it's better
to rely on a class that you have some control over.  Using pickles of
session data objects, you're depending on an implementation detail that may
change.  Additionally, I doubt it's the case in your implementation, but
unpickling arbitrary user-contributed data can be a serious security hole.

In broader terms, however, you already have a superpickler (the ZODB), you
might as well use it.  ;-)

When I say mapping interface, I just mean that the session data object looks
like a dictionary.  So:

mystorageobject = mycustomclassthatlookslikeadictionary()
data = sdm.getSessionData()
for k,v in data.items():
mystorageobject[k] = v
afolder._setObject('anid', mystorageobject)

Will do the right thing.

 Yep this is what I like. Im actually thinking this simple ZStore class is
a
 useful little object for throwing stuff into, if I get mapping working
I'll
 release the whole 50 lines of code it currently is...

It would be really useful to have generalized support for something like
this.

[Zope] Zope Permission object destroys Security tab

2001-01-31 Thread Itai Tavor

Hi,

I have a Zope product, with a lot of ZClasses in it. I defined a Zope 
Permission in this product with id='change_my_objects_permission' and 
name='Change My Objects'. I assigned this permission to several 
classes - not sure which ones.

When I click on Security in the top Zope folder I get this:

 Error Type: AttributeError

I added this statement to permission_settings (line 176 of 
AccessControl/Role.py):

print('name=%s, value=%s, roles=%s' % (name, value, roles))

When it gets to my permission it outputs this:

name=Change My Objects, value=(), roles=Rewrapper instance at 8735f30

I deleted the problem permission and created a new one called Test. 
This time the Security page worked and I got:

name=Test, value=(), roles=['Manager']

If I recreate the problem permission, the problem returns.

The only difference is that 'Change My Objects' is used somewhere in 
a ZClass. But a) I can't find out where it's used other than by 
manually checking 20 ZClasses, and b) why would that be a problem 
anyway? And what's this Rewrapper thing? And why am I suddenly 
attracting all these annoying bugs?

Re: [Zope] Zope on OpenBSD 2.8 problem solved

2001-01-31 Thread Ragnar Beer

Start Zope, and you will find that it works fine now. Zope also works fine
in the CURRENT tree of OpenBSD, so presumably it will work out-of-the-box on
OpenBSD 2.9. This is the safest way of getting it to work at the moment.

Did you understand form Jason Ish's message that it should be working 
with -current or did you compile and test it yourself? I compiled 
-current last week and it didn't work and there have been no changes 
to the source since then.

[Zope] where can I find Debianised source for zope-2.3.0 ?

2001-01-31 Thread Radek Hnilica

Hello all,

I'm using Debian/GNU Linux Potato on all my machines.  And I want try to install Zope 
2.3.0 on my server.  I'm capable of compiling zope from debian source package, but on 
main zope site zope.org I found only plain zope source.  This package doesn't contain 
debian directory.

Do anyone know where the debianised source can be taken from.

For that the easiest solution is to put a redirect in your root to:

either through a server setting or

You could also put your zope.pcgi in your root folder and make it a

If you are not using Zope 2.3 You will probably want to use:
http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/SiteAccess2
It can change your links so that they will match the ugly /scripts/zope.pcgi
url that you get through IIS.

I think there are no servlet plugholes in Zope.

From my basic understanding, I would state that integration of Zope with

OmniORB), which would be quite nice technical work.--

Re: [Zope] where can I find Debianised source for zope-2.3.0 ?

 On Wednesday 31 January 2001, at 11 h 8, the keyboard of Radek Hnilica 
 
 This is quite common: most upstream maintainers do not want to ship debian/

For example the Gwydion Dylan compiler has debian directory in their CVS.  It's nice 
thing if it's up to date.

  Do anyone know where the debianised source can be taken from.
 
 2) Download the 'zope-XXX.diff.gz' from the source/ directory of a Debian archive.

I know how to get and compile debianized source, but in official tree the latest 
version of zope is 2.2.4-3.  In this time I'm trying to use debian directory from 
2.2.4 and for sure rename 2.3.0 to 2.2.9-1.

after installing ZUBB (ZDiscussions 0.6. right?) everything works fine with
the single exception that the topic of no message gets set. That means,
after posting, all messages show "(no subject)".
The message preview HTML source still shows the correct value in the hidden
input form tag named "title". Could the problem be a clash between the "title"
form entry and the title of another Zope object?
I am using ZDiscussions-0.6 and Zope 2.3.0.

Re: [Zope] LoginManager dlpierson example

2001-01-31 Thread Fred Yankowski

I just realized that I responded in terms of a PythonMethod when you
asked about a PythonScript.  My ZClass functions for my LoginManager
subclass are all PythonMethods, yet to be converted to Python
Scripts.  My 'authenticate' method takes (self, password, request) as
parameters and has for the function body only

return password == self.password

I suspect that an equivalent PythonScript will need to take password
and request as parameters (not so sure about 'request') and will have
a body like this:

return password == container.password

Ah, what the heck...  OK, I just converted my authenticate script as
above and it seems to still work fine.

No problem, just have another _user_ preference which says whether ZMI

Then you and me can both be happy, even if we're using the same server ;-)

 hi all,

 i have an indexing script which highlights the modification date table
cell
 depending on whether the indexed object was modified today or in the past
 month. however, it seems a bit flakey. todays red cells (modified today)
 were objects modified on Aug 25, 2000 6:34 pm and Sep 25, 2000 5:09 pm. i
am
 thinking that the .isCurrentDay method is buggy. anyway, here is the

It was a bug (already fixed in CVS). You can get the updated

around it for now. I anticipate making a 2.3.1 release in the 
next few weeks - we want to allow enough time for all of 
these kinds of things to shake out.

In the meantime, I may post some sort of unofficial update 
.tgz so that people who are CVS-averse aren't blocked by 
the issues that come up along the way.

Re: [Zope] CoreSessionTracking timeout

2001-01-31 Thread Chris McDonough

Oliver,

 If timeout expires I expect
 'Before change:' to be empty again, thus generating a new token. But it
 isn't. It still uses the old token. What's going on?

Just for clarification:  core session tracking tokens don't expire.  Session
data objects associated with tokens expire.  See the section "Session Id
(Non-)Expiration" in the help doc.  Your question is still valid, however.

The timeout parameter isn't exact.  In the current implementation, for
example, if your timeout is set to 20 minutes, it could take up to 40
minutes to expire the data object associated with the token.  It will
expire, however.  I need to work on making this more exact, but for now
consider the timeout the "minimum" amount of time before a session data
object will expire.

HTH,

Chris

The line has been added by the maintainer of the Debian package of Zope,

Zope binary and source distributions use a shell script called 'start' to

You can of course always add the line yourself.

[Zope] Re: sessions/noundo dbs/mounting/exmount

2001-01-31 Thread Chris McDonough

 thanks for the prompt replies.  to recap, i have
 -Berkeley DB
 -External Mount
 -something that i'm not too sure of :)

 as i see it, i can use External mount to mount berkeley Db.  that will
then
 give me a nonundo, nonversioning db.. right?

Well, I know you're using ZEO with a FileStorage as your "main" storage, so
you'll need to mount a ClientStorage which talks to a ZEO server backed by a
nonundo db.  The ZEO docs give some info about using a single ZEO server to
serve two databases (see the -S switch to the ZEO 'start' command).

So basically, you need do do something like:

   Client  Client  Client
 |  |   |
 |  |   |
 |  |   |
   Zeo Storage Server
 /   \
 nonundostorage (mounted)   filestorage (main)

Where all clients have a "main" database that is the ZSS' filestorage and
all clients additionally have a ClientStorage mounted (via exmount or
another way) that points to the ZSS' nonundo storage.

An alternate way is:

   Client  Client  Client
 |  |   |
 |  |   |
 |  |   |
   Zeo Storage Server
|
|
 nonundostorage (main)

In this case, all clients use a "main" database that is nonundoing, so you
can put the external data container right in there without worrying about
any mounting.

 if i use FileStorage with ExternalMount, it'll be just another ZODB.  i
hope
 i'm right.

Yes.

 if i want to use it across ZEO Clients, i *must* use ZEO.ClientStorage.
 correct me if i'm wrong, please.

Yes.

 to test a simple setup, i tried FileStorage with External Mount.  and i
 encountered a little problem.  here's what i have
 -ExternalMount
 -External Method[1]

 when i tried adding an ExternalMount, i got this[2] traceback.  help?

I think this exposes an error in Mount.py.  :-(  Is there anything in your
debug log?


 p/s - what about storing CoreSessionTracking data in RDB?

It's my hope that people will write session data managers that do just this.
The session tracking stuff is extensible.  As a matter of fact, I don't
think it would be too hard to adapt the existing FSSession and SQLSession
products to be session data managers.

Would it be possible to someone (Steve S. ;-) to update them ?

Re: [Zope] ZDatabaseTool PDF

2001-01-31 Thread Damir Bartakovic

Hi Andreas and all the others,

here is another Newbie to zope :-) 
The ZDatabaseTool seems to be the solution for some tasks I have. 
Especially the "print to pdf" option. How did you solve it, Andreas? 
I heard something about a pdf-library for python, but I am just beginning
programming in python and Zope, so I don't know where to start.
Is there a how-to somewhere or can you give me some hints how to realize
that?

Apart from that I am getting some javascript errors when I trying the
demo:
At "What selection criteria do you require?".

IE 5.0:
Zeile: 218 
Zeichen: 1
'document.FORMKEYPAD is not an object'
Code: 0

Netscape 4.7: 
JavaScript Error:

line 218:

document.FORMKEYPAD has no properties. 
+

But it seems to work ingnoring the error. 
When I finally can make my query I get a new error:


IE 5.0:
Zeile: 44
Zeichen: 3
'undefined is not an object'

But anyway it seems to work and I like it so far.

It's hard to diagnose from what you've sent me.  Can you send me the

Re: [Zope] Parameter from DTML-Document to SQL-Method

2001-01-31 Thread peter bengtson

Very strange that you don't get an error though.
Your DTML is wrong. You're not sending the _value_ or 'value' you're sending
a value that looks like this: "dtml-var value"

Here's the correct way.
dtml-let value="'Test'"
dtml-in expr="sql_query(para=value)"

 Hi to all,

 I am trying a long time to get the result of an query in the document,
 or perhaps get the parameter in the query.
 It looks like this:

 dtml-let value="'Test'"
 dtml-in expr="sql_query(para='dtml-var value')"

 dtml-var code   #code is part of the query-result
 .
 .
 /dtml-let

 Viewing the document, i got no result (and no error).
 Testing the query with value= Test, the result is ok!

 thanks very much in advance

[Zope] A little sqltest patch: op=ne multiple

2001-01-31 Thread Shai Berger

Hi guys,

The following trivial patch lets dtml-sqltest make sense
of multiple inequality tests, that is: Currently

dtml-sqltest name op="ne" multiple

has the funny behavior of rendering

nameval

when passed a single value, and

name in (val1,val2)

when a list is passed. With this fix, the latter case becomes

name not in (val1,val2)

(It might be considered a good idea to take care of the other
ops too, but that would be non-trivial ;-)

Have fun,
Shai.

[Zope] Need zope sales training :)

2001-01-31 Thread Tom Jenkins

Hello folks,
We have a project being discussed here at work where I think zope would fit
nicely.  I explained my thoughts on how zope fits to the project manager and
all I got for my efforts was a blank stare.  Obviously some
miscommunication.  The project is a resume "database".  The user would
upload resumes into a database, with some additional fields for other
information related to the person.  The resumes and additional fields would
be searchable.  The user thought it would be very interesting for them if
the resumes, searching, etc were available over the Web so that field
offices could access them.

My thought is that this would be perfect for zope using zcatalog.  Now I
haven't done any work with zcatalog but it sure seems like a perfect fit.

Am I on the right track here?  What points can I bring to bear?

Thanks for any advice

  this sounds like normal operating system behavior. memory isn't
  being free'd
  just dealloc and returned to the program heap and marked as available.

 Ok.  So you're saying that even though it says it's taking 50MB, much of
 that memory is probably available for other applications?  

warning: i'm on shaky ground here.

this is very os dependent. most os's don't resize a process's heap down on a 
dealloc. instead the heap has more available memory for that process (ie 
Zope), other processes will have to alloc from free memory.

the management of free heap space and disk caching is again os dependent, but 
a good os should try to do some optimization of heaps before thrashing, so 
starting a new process should cause a problem.


Does this mean
 that if another application actually starts to use that memory that the
 Zope process should start showing a reduction in use? 

no.

 How can I (if I can)
 see how much is really available? 

 i'm not sure how you would do this on linux.


Also, does the free memory below not
 necessarily reflect the amount of memory that is actually available for
 applications that may need it?

no it does not (again os dependent). free memory is indicator of the os free 
resources for new and current processes. for existing processes it is a 
indicator not a def. answer.

  total   used   free sharedbuffers cached
 Mem:126312 122936   3376  48424   5820  29952

 Swap:   530104  21876 508228

 Sorry if this is inappropriate for the Zope list.  I have only *noticed*
 this behavior with Zope, but that may not mean anything.

if you're on linux trying starting up a large app (gimp comes to mind as a 
good one) and loading and unloading some large docs, and watch what happens

[Zope] SiteAccess affects the Zope management interface

2001-01-31 Thread Fred Yankowski

I hadn't realized it before, but SiteAccess can cause really confusing
things in the Zope management interface!  When I installed Zope 2.3.0
and ran it on an unused port number to check it out while the main
Zope was still running, the top-level Zope folder displayed with the
new look (which is very well done, BTW), but when I would drill down
into a folder governed by a SiteRoot object the folders appeared with
the old (2.2.x) look.  This was quite a mystery until I realized that
although the tree frame on the left (and the new top frame) were
displaying pages served by the new Zope 2.3.0 process, the
right/folder frame was actually displaying a page served by my
older production Zope process running Zope 2.2.5!

My Zope tree is something like this:

/
+ /subsite1
+ /subsite2

subsite1 has a SiteRoot that gives the folder a new Base of
"http://subsite1.org".  Apache is sitting on port 80 and using
ProxyPass to map http://subsite1.org to
http://myhost.org:8080/subsite1.  Assume the new Zope ZServer is
running on port 9090.  So the listing for 'subsite1' in the tree
display has an HREF of http://myhost.org:9090/subsite1/manage_main.
When I click on that, the browser requests that URL from Zope on
myhost.org:9090.  Because of the SiteRoot object, the server sends
back an HTTP 302 response redirecting the browser to
http://subsite1.org/manage_main, which the browser dutifully requests.
The Apache server gets that request and forwards it via ProxyPass to
http://myhost.org:8080/subsite1/manage_main.  The other/older Zope
server on port 8080 fields that request (with SiteAccess converting
URLs) and sends it back to the browser, which displays it in the
large/right frame.  So now the left frame is displaying the objects
served by ZServer on port 8080 but the right frame is displaying the
contents of some object served by ZServer on port 9090.

One outcome of this for me is that I will now test the staging server
by running it this way (from bash):

SUPPRESS_SITEROOT=1 ./start.bat

so that SiteRoot translations are disabled.

Is there any way how to get a name of uploaded file.  I mean another than let user 
type the name in another field.
I was looking in REQUEST object and nothing about the filename found there.

Re: [Zope] Found an fatal error in Zope 2.3.0 :) RESOLVED

2001-01-31 Thread Radek Hnilica

This problem was completly resolved.  My mistake, I incorrectly create debian binary 
package.  After creating correct package the new zope 2.3.0 is up and running.

[Zope] orphan handling/sequence-size bug?

2001-01-31 Thread Olaf Zanger

sorry, got probably lost in space


hi there,

we take the sequence-size as seq_size for a dtml-in statement from a formular with
'get'
(as shown in DTML.html under batch processing)

(dtml-in rep.sql size=seq_size start=query_start)

if the seq_size is 2 and larger there is no trouble, if it is 1 
(seq_size=1query_start=2)
'next-sequence' does not exist in the second batch.

therfore it doesn't show a next-batch-link in the second batch.

seems to be a problem with the orphan handling

thanks

olaf

[Zope] Extremely slow connection on local network (Zope 2.2.5, Win2k)

2001-01-31 Thread Matt Gushee

Hi, folks--

I'm trying to set up a Zope-based intranet web site for my company, but
there's a very puzzling performance issue. Basically, any attempt to
connect to the server from another machine on the local network is
really, really slow: for example, I just visited the default home page
(the "Welcome to Zope" page that comes w/ the installation), and it took
25 seconds to load. More complex pages can take over a minute. I don't
think Zope itself is running slowly, because if I log onto the server
and access the site locally, it pops right up. I'm also running IIS on
the same machine, and have no trouble accessing the IIS website from
various hosts (I did make sure they weren't trying to use the same port
-- Zope is on 8080, IIS is on 9680).

Here's some info about the environment:

Server Platform:

OS: Windows 2000 Professional w/ Service Pack 1
(installed w/ Norton Ghost)
Hardware: Celeron 600 Mhz, 160MB RAM
Quirks: I added PyXML and ReportLab to zope_dir\lib\python. I also
added an external
path with some other python packages to sys.path in z2.py.
There is a separate Python 1.5.2 installation on the machine.

Network:

Type: Ethernet 10-base-T, single subnet
Router: FlowPoint DSL
OSs: Mainly Windows 2000, with one Solaris box and a small but varying
number of Linux,
NT 4.0, and Win98 boxes.
Domain Controllers (2): Windows 2000 Server running in mixed mode

By the way, we have frequent performance problems with the network, but
nothing nearly as severe as this. We suspect that not having enuf client
licenses for Win2k Server may be part of the problem, but I don't see
why that would affect Zope, especially since IIS seems to be fine.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you may have.

Re: [Zope] Additional user properties

2001-01-31 Thread Ulrich Wisser

Hello Jens,

to add additional user attributes you will need to replace the standard user
folder that ships with zope with one of the replacement user folders
available on zope.org.

looking through the products or searching for user folder should bring up
quite a few results.

I already tried that. But I didn't find any product which mentions
additional properties. Do you know one?

Thanks

Ulrich

[Zope] zope.org downtime

2001-01-31 Thread ethan mindlace fremen

Zopatistas,

Zope.org has suffered a disk failure that evidently our raid array did not 
correctly recover from.

We should be back up shortly in "degraded" mode.

I am going to be working on changing things around so that the zeo clients 
to continue operating in read-only mode even if the storage/ staging server 
goes down.

Once replicated storage comes about, this single point of failure will go 
away.

Thanks for your understanding,

Re: [Zope] Extremely slow connection on local network (Zope 2.2.5, Win2k)

2001-01-31 Thread Chris McDonough

Hmmm.  I have a feeling that this may be related to a DNS lookup problem in
user folders that was solved in Zope 2.3.  Is it feasible for you to try
2.3?

 Nope. When I'm sitting in front of the server, the connection is equally
 fast whether I use the actual host name, 'localhost', 127.0.0.1, or the
 external IP address (which is assigned by DHCP, by the way). Similarly,
 from a remote host, the connection is equally slow whether I use the
 bare or qualified hostname, or the IP address.

No, it is a problem on our end.

Bind has been upgraded yesterday (probably related to the security issues
found this week), and the latest release must be giving our hosting
provider some problems.

With bind bailing out, Zope.org won't accept new connections. Before the
refusal of connections, mail didn't work either, so all Tracker, Zope.org
registartion and review activities were broken.

bayMountain is working to resolve the problems.

The directory happened to be in a "LocalFS".

Maybe, you are affected by a Zope 2.3/LocalFS incompatibility.

Search the mailing list archives.
I saw recently (today or yesterday) a path for LocalFS.

No.. I am using Netscape 4.76 under Linux

 We've had several problems where, in IE, Zope redirects evrything to
 index_html. We are forced to use Netscape to manage our sites.

 Is this your case too? We have this problem with 2.2.4, 2.2.5.

I never used PythonScripts under 2.2.x, only PythonMethods.
